NONUSE PERIODS
The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when
left unused for a long period.

GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other), it will fit into the outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug. If this product is equipped with a three­wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only
fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type
plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked

attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the product.

OUTDOORS ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure
the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

LIGHTNING
For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the
product due to lightning and power-line surges.

POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.
